Nestled just six kilometers south of Dunhuang City in Gansu Province, Crescent Lake, or Yueya Spring, stands as a stunning testament to nature's harmony. This crescent-shaped oasis is uniquely surrounded by the vast expanse of the Echoing Sand Mountain Desert, creating a mesmerizing contrast between the golden sands and the serene blue waters.
Despite the common notion that water and fire cannot coexist, Crescent Lake defies expectations by thriving amidst the arid desert landscape. The harmonious blend of the shimmering lake and the towering sand dunes offers a picturesque retreat for travelers and nature enthusiasts alike.
Adding to the allure, Dunhuang is set to host the 6th Silk Road International Cultural Expo from September 6th to 7th. This year, CGTN is enhancing the experience by presenting a series of live streams, allowing global audiences to immerse themselves in the breathtaking beauty and cultural vibrancy of Dunhuang.
Whether you're an adventurous traveler, a cultural explorer, or simply seeking natural beauty, Crescent Lake and the upcoming cultural expo promise unforgettable experiences in one of China’s most iconic destinations.
